Product Description

Tom loves his life, until he realizes he also loves his best friend Hannah. But when Hannah gets engaged to a dashing Scotsman and asks Tom to be her maid of honor, Tom faces hostile bridesmaids, bridal showers, and bad hair days, all in an effort to pull off the perfect wedding and steal the bride. He’s a maid of honor with a plan.

From Amazon.co.uk

Patrick Dempsey makes his full transition to rom-com stardom in Made of Honor, flashing those winning dimples and twinkly baby blues to full fetching effect. The camera truly loves him, and his considerable affable charm calls to mind early Hugh Grant, winsome even in utter confusion. Dempsey plays Tom, a nice guy but a serial dater with a girlfriend in every zip code of New York. Michelle Monaghan is Hannah, Tom's BFF since college, who's decided she wants marriage and family. When she becomes unexpectedly engaged to Colin (Journeyman's Kevin McKidd, rather McDreamy himself), Tom realises what the viewer's known all along--that Hannah is in fact his dream woman. It's When Harry Met Sally... meets My Best Friend's Wedding--but thankfully, Dempsey's Tom is far more sympathetic than Julia Roberts' snide schemer. The plot isn't exactly full of surprises, but the cast--and their amazing chemistry--are so winning that the film makes for the perfect date movie. Not only are all three leads charming in their own way, but the rich cinematography manages to make both Manhattan and the Scottish countryside look like glorious edens, one urban, one windswept. Monaghan is a revelation, quietly lovely as a young Carla Bruni, but with a flinty gumption that makes her all the more appealing. The supporting cast is rich, too, especially Sydney Pollack as Tom's serially marrying dad. (At his dad's umpteenth wedding, Tom's new arm-candy "stepmom" gets tipsy and overly affectionate with guests as her new husband looks on fondly: "Ah... drunk as the night I first met her.") But at the core of the film are its big heart, and the connection between Tom and Hannah, deep and wide whether they end up just best friends or more. And the delight for viewers is knowing they'll be just as glowy either way.-- A.T. Hurley

As romantic comedies go, this is one of the more amusing that I have seen over the past year or so. Patrick Dempsey proves that he can handle a very different character to "McDreamy" (Doctor Jonathan Shepherd from "Gray's Anatomy") and Michelle Monaham is beautiful and charming as the heroine.

The film begins with a student party, during which Tom, (Dempsey) a senior year student who has seduced half the female students at the University, meets a girl called Hannah in the most embarrassing circumstances imaginable when he accidentally gets into the wrong bed. Despite this dreadful introduction, they become best friends, in a completely platonic way.

The story resumes ten years later, in New York. Although he has remained a serial womaniser who is astonishingly successful in charming every other girl he takes a fancy to into bed for relationships which are about sex and nothing else, Tom's friendship with Hannah has become part of the bedrock of both their lives but appears to have remained entirely platonic.

The first hint that the relationship between Tom and Hannah might not be quite as platonic as they both think comes when he persuades her to come with him to his father's sixth wedding. At this point it becomes obvious where Tom gets his attitude to women: Tom Senior, a wealthy man in his sixties, is marrying a beautiful girl of 25 (e.g. about five years younger than his son.)

During a series of silly events at the wedding, which I won't describe to avoid spoiling the story, the viewer realises that Tom junior and Hannah mean more to each other then they are prepared to admit even to themselves.

Then Hannah has to go to Scotland for six weeks on business, and while there she is swept off her feet by Colin (Kevin McKidd), handsome heir to a family of dour highland aristocrats who are even richer than Tom's father. Returning to New York with Colin, Hannah tells Tom that she is getting married to Colin in a fortnight, in Scotland. And as he is her best friend, she wants him to be her "maid of honour".

This comes just as Tom has finally realised that he is in love with Hannah, and presents him with a dilemma: does he support his best friend in her choice of life partner, or use the position to try to persuade her to marry him instead?

Most people will find the shenanigans which follow to be highly amusing, but be aware that the film takes the mickey out of every cliche about Scotland from an American perspective in a way which patriotic Scots - or even other Brits - may find irritating.

If you are not too put off by this, or by a large number of predictable stock Hollywood RomCom chiches, you will probably enjoy "Made of Honour" but it might not have much repeat entertainment value. Perhaps a film to rent, and watch once, rather than one to buy.

SPOILER - Love this film, typical guy having not realised what is in front of him and then it walks. Makes for some interesting things that happen. Overall it's funny and daft at times.. One I can watch over and over :)

I purchased this DVD after watching Made of Honour on TV. I had missed the first half anyway, so just HAD to buy it to see the chunk that I had not seen. It's a lovely film and I am sure to watch it again and again!!
